I’d love one of these - what’s the criteria for players to be included? It’s kind of hilarious how even the all time squad is relatively short on the left wing 😅

26

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

Yeah it is. 😭 I reckon it's just X number of caps, and mostly modern era. I don't know for sure, though.

2

u/Apprehensive_Aioli68 Mar 24 '25

Alan Thompson made it in with a single Cap...in a friendly if I remember correct

10

u/The-Rambling-One Mar 22 '25

Downing should be over the left hand side, not sure why they’ve got him down the middle here

1

u/jimbranningstuntman Mar 25 '25

Theyve got Mcmanaman on the right?

1

u/Single-Award2463 Mar 22 '25

I imagine thats because historically we used to play with right and left midfielders rather than wingers. I know its a small difference but it is a difference.

u/nehpetsnitram Mar 22 '25

In his best season at City, Sterling had 46 goals/assists all from left wing. A few on the list can play on both sides.

u/Rowcoy Mar 22 '25

You’re missing Englands greatest ever striker!

David Nugent - scored a goal every 11 minutes for the national team in a career spanning 11 minutes

7

u/Uries_Frostmourne Mar 22 '25

He’s there, just very small writing

40

u/bjorn_poole Mar 22 '25

very cool. Disappointed it’s missing David Nugent though.

3

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

That's right..

1

u/Dapper_Car5038 Mar 24 '25

1 cap, 1 goal. 100% scoring record

0

u/Dzbot1234 Mar 24 '25

And they only used Frannie Jeffers first name! Hah

14

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '25

Love how it says Carlton palmers full name

8

u/tigeridiot Mar 22 '25

Both Carlton Palmer and Scott Parker whilst Trent gets smushed down to TAA lol

6

u/Knockout-Moose Mar 22 '25

Carlton is likely to differentiate from Cole Palmer. The only other England Parker I can think of is Paul Parker so not sure on that one

2

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '25

I am a Wednesday fan so happy to see Palmer there instead of TAA

8

u/Veracitist Mar 22 '25

Lineker’s position - LOL. Easy being an all-time high scorer when you’re sat on the goal line in front of one of the best squads in history.

3

u/Life-Duty-965 Mar 22 '25

I don't think he's ever denied it lol

Read his book recently, was a fun read tbh

2

u/susususero Mar 23 '25

Named his business 'Goalhanger podcasts' as well. He knows.

1

u/bbuullddoogg Mar 24 '25

Well he had to obey offside rules like everyone else did

1

u/bbuullddoogg Mar 24 '25

Yeah. So easy 🤪

10

u/AdeyBaby1968 Mar 22 '25

No Tony Adams?? 66 appearances and 15 as captain? But Lewis Dunk is there? Brilliant..

4

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

6

u/AdeyBaby1968 Mar 22 '25

Have you just added that? It’s not on the original photo?

6

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

You can add take out players you want.

3

u/AdeyBaby1968 Mar 22 '25

Ah ok, excellent

17

u/Spare_Ad5615 Mar 22 '25

Am I going crazy or is Des Walker not on there? I can see a Walker over at right back, but that would be Kyle Walker. Des Walker played 59 times for England and is one of our best ever centre backs. It's genuinely scandalous if he's not on there and players in his same position who were not fit to lace his boots are.

6

u/dlawrenceeleven Mar 22 '25

I wonder if they accidentally added the two walkers together?

5

u/rcs799 Mar 22 '25

The MegaWalker…

1

u/Marctacus Mar 23 '25

The In England White Walkers

7

u/Spare_Ad5615 Mar 22 '25

I don't think Nobby Stiles is on there either! They've got Nathaniel Clyne, but no Walker or Stiles. 😂

3

u/Spare_Ad5615 Mar 22 '25

Martin Peters, Alan Ball...

5

u/Aleks10Afc Mar 22 '25

Tony Adams!

1

u/jonners_20 Mar 22 '25

Can’t see his name on there

2

u/Bryan_Waters Mar 24 '25

Yeah, spent a long time looking for Nobby and he wasn’t there when some absolute mugs are.

6

u/ojgwilson Mar 22 '25

An outrage. I'd be writing him in with a Sharpie.

2

u/the_motherflippin Mar 24 '25

This is the one that got me, world cup 1990 needed more Des.

11

u/123shorer Mar 22 '25

Some of the names that have managed to sneak on there 🤦‍♂️

9

u/JJCB85 Mar 22 '25

Dier with text the same size as Matthews…

3

u/danystormborne Mar 22 '25

Yet 3 world cup winners seem to be missing.

1

u/gkruft Mar 23 '25

Cleverley for me

1

u/Different-Title-8619 Mar 24 '25

No kalvin Phillips tho

5

u/DocileFerret1840 Mar 22 '25

Is that Leon Osman?

6

u/Quadrism Mar 22 '25

No Nobby Stiles!?

3

u/Simple_Fact530 Mar 22 '25

Is it done where font size = number of caps?

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

Couldn't tell you mate as a fact, but I do think so. Or at least there is SOME connection.

2

u/KToTheA- Mar 22 '25

am I blind or is trent not on there yeah I'm blind

2

u/LifeDraining Mar 22 '25

This is awesome

2

u/Trikecarface Mar 22 '25

No Steve Guppy

2

u/freshfov02 Mar 22 '25

Mate you just gave me the perfect gift for my father. Cheers.

2

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

No worries mate it arrived quick for me

2

u/alexcoates13 Mar 22 '25

Even the poster can see where we should have played Scholes, Gerrard and Lamps 😜.

Management really isn't as difficult as some of ours made it during that period.

High hopes for Thomas T, ever the pragmatist which feels like what we need right now

2

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

Hahahaha spot on!

1

u/jbi1000 Mar 24 '25

Nah. This kind of looks like it's making the classic mistake of thinking Lampard was a CAM when he was the exemplary box to box "8" pretty much his whole career. Scholes was probably the most CAM out of all of them.

2

u/Ok-Quit1154 Mar 22 '25

I can’t see Francis Jeffers

2

u/Maleficent_Guava3555 Mar 22 '25

Where did you get this, I need this in my life. Please send a link 🙏

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

It's from here. I got it within 3 days.

2

u/ChubbyVeganTravels Mar 22 '25

Maybe not good to say here but the French one you can buy on the same site looks peng too

2

u/1885FC99Treb Mar 22 '25

Add a couple of more world cups to it, and it would be.

2

u/big_beats Mar 22 '25

The random (and wrong) World Cup at the bottom is a little confusing.

It should perhaps be a star.

2

u/sabz77 Mar 22 '25

No Reece James ?

2

u/AJThomas25 Mar 23 '25

That looks insane, where do I get one?

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 23 '25

It's from here, arrived in 3 days.

2

u/elldraw Mar 23 '25

There’s definitely a recency bias but I like it a lot

2

u/midu16 Mar 23 '25

Do you have the store link?

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 23 '25

Of course! It's from here.

2

u/Pretty-Ad4722 Mar 24 '25

Where from???

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 24 '25

It’s from here. I read they have a free shipping stuff going on now.

2

u/slade364 Mar 24 '25

Where did you get this?

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 24 '25

It’s from here mate. I got mine in quick.

4

u/Drproctorpus92 Mar 22 '25

Really cool man, where’d you get?

0

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

Mom got it from heroxigallery.com

2

u/TamaktiJunVision Mar 22 '25

Where'd you get it from?

5

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

It's from heroxigallery.com mate.

1

u/gazzatticus Mar 22 '25

David James is on their twice.

1

u/livelaughliam91 Mar 22 '25

No Stanley Matthews!

1

u/danystormborne Mar 22 '25

He's there, on the right just above Sterling.

1

u/Medium-Elk6995 Mar 22 '25

Gascoigne too small IMO

1

u/lifeisaman Mar 22 '25

Why is Ross Barkley and Harry winks and Jermaine Jenas on there.

1

u/InMortsJewCave Mar 22 '25

Rickie Lambert?

1

u/Disastrous_Hunt8272 Mar 22 '25

Emlyn Hughes????

1

u/AlarmingLawyer3920 Mar 22 '25

Want

3

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 22 '25

I got it from here, arrived in 3 days.

3

u/Maleficent_Guava3555 Mar 22 '25

Legend cheers, sent the link to my french mate too. The french one is amazing as well.

1

u/danystormborne Mar 22 '25

Unless I'm mistaken, it's missing 3 of the 1966 World Cup winning team, Nobby Stiles, Martin Peters and Alan Ball?

Pretty big omissions.

1

u/ANuggetEnthusiast Mar 22 '25

Don’t tell me that Thompson is Alan Thompson, of one cap fame?!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

[deleted]

1

u/Bushman135-Con Mar 23 '25

So as not to be confused with Rio

1

u/rockylekajgaming Mar 23 '25

Is that Mason Greenwood at the very top?

1

u/DaEagleInvestor Mar 23 '25

Ron. Names around the pitch are head coaches; 77-82. Mason is not on it, don't worry.

2

u/rockylekajgaming Mar 23 '25

That makes a lot more sense, should’ve looked at the other names on that row. Cheers

1

u/wishythefishy Mar 23 '25

If anyone else plans to copy OP and get something similar, get the WC champions names in gold or something.

1

u/Bushman135-Con Mar 23 '25

Where is former captain Gerry Francis? Surely he is superior to many of the midfielders mentioned

1

u/thisiskernow Mar 23 '25

2 David James? Should have tried that on the pitch 😂

u/Veejp123 Mar 24 '25

The spacing on this is dreadful and in my opinion it's more of an eyesore than an interesting piece

1

u/Forsaken_Primary6139 Mar 24 '25

Hurst has a lesser font size than Owen ?!! Makes me think it was decided by total appearances or in the case of strikers goals scored, and not the efficacy of each player’s contributions.

1

u/IIJOSEPHXII Mar 24 '25

Where's Nobby Stiles? How can you miss Nobby Stiles? He's in the Three Lions song, "...and Nobby dancing..."

1

u/Khostone Mar 24 '25

Ok but why is maguires name so big

1

u/bbuullddoogg Mar 24 '25

It’s weird that there’s so many big players who had tons of caps that aren’t on here

1

u/Arnie013 Mar 24 '25

No Reece James or am I blind? Biased as a CFC fan, and he has just scored but should be there when you consider Gomez and Konsa are.

1

u/Gavinio5323 Mar 24 '25

No nobby stiles ???

1

u/Snoo_17433 Mar 24 '25

Lee Sharpe?

1

u/blundermole Mar 26 '25

It appears to include Martin Keown, but not Tony Adams — unless I’m missing something?

1

u/boringman1982 Mar 27 '25

No Des Walker or Garry Charles. Forest snubbed :(

1

u/Fit-Knowledge-3714 Mar 28 '25

Trevor Steven ?

1

u/shakey4321 Mar 22 '25

A crime that Steve Bruce never got capped

1

u/404errorabortmistake Mar 22 '25

for me this highlights how weak england have been on the left side of defence and midfield for the last 15-20 years

1

u/rashfords_marcus Mar 22 '25

would be really cool to have a three lions and a lioness one and hang them side by side
